CALL FOR PAPERS
18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington x-apple-data-detectors://0/, August 9-12, 2012 x-apple-data-detectors://1/
Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS) Minitrack: Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements
DESCRIPTION
Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in todayâ??s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiativesâ?? success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
â?¢Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems
â?¢Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance
â?¢Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success
â?¢Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use
